In 2011, Wales was the first country in the world to introduce a domestic law on the rights of children.
This brought into Welsh law the requirements of international law on the rights of the child. It compels Welsh Ministers to have regard to those requirements when exercising their functions.
This discussion brings together the key figures at the heart of this landmark development. Find out what really happened, and what lessons they can share.
Featuring: Right Honourable Rhodri Morgan, former First Minister of Wales Jane Williams, College of Law, Swansea University Helen Mary Jones, former chair of the Wales Assembly children’s committee Moderated by Sir Roderick Evans, Swansea University
